Today, we pause to remember and honor the brave men and women who gave their lives in service to our country. 🇺🇸

At Hideaway Tiny Acres, we’re especially grateful for the freedom to enjoy peaceful places, quiet mornings, family gatherings, and the beauty of the outdoors and the freedoms made possible through the sacrifice of others.

Whether you’re spending the day with loved ones, traveling, or simply enjoying the calm of nature, we hope you take a moment to reflect and remember those who never made it home.

From our family to yours, thank you to all who served and sacrificed.

Sometimes life slows a project down… but it doesn’t stop the dream. ❤️

Last year, Don started building this beautiful pavilion here at Hideaway Tiny Acres using lumber he sawn himself on the sawmill he built a few years ago. Then life took an unexpected turn with his health journey, and progress had to slow down for a while.

Thankfully, things are starting to improve, and we’re hopeful he’ll be back working on it very soon.

This pavilion is going to become a special gathering spot for our guests. A screened-in space where you can relax outside on summer evenings, enjoy the peaceful sounds of nature, sip your coffee in the morning, or unwind at night without battling the UP mosquitoes. 🦟🌲

It’s getting close now! All that’s left is:

✔️ Shingles
✔️ Screening
✔️ A door

…and it will be ready to enjoy.

We’re also excited to share that we recently obtained a fifth wheel travel trailer that we’ll be adding to our guest offerings here at Hideaway Tiny Acres. More details on that coming soon!

There’s a lot happening behind the scenes this year, and we can’t wait to continue creating peaceful, simple, and memorable experiences for our guests.

There’s something hopeful about walking through the garden after a long Upper Peninsula winter and spotting those very first signs of life. 🌱

This spring has definitely been on the cooler side, which means the soil temperatures are still lagging behind and everything is getting a slower start than usual. But nature always seems to find a way.

The garlic was one of the first things I checked on. Earlier this season, a few sneaky deer managed to get into the garden and chomp the tops right off several plants. I honestly wasn’t sure how well they would recover, but they’re bouncing back beautifully.

The chives are waking up, the rhubarb is stretching toward the sunshine, raspberries are showing fresh growth, and even the elderberries which took a pretty hard hit over the winter are starting to leaf out again.

Last fall, I spent a lot of time preparing the garden beds for spring, and it’s paying off already. There’s still a lot of work ahead, but I’m excited about the plans we have for the garden this year and looking forward to sharing parts of it with guests staying at the tiny cabin.

We’re also working on some exciting upgrades around the cabin property this season, and I’ll be sharing more about those projects in future posts. 😊

The season is already starting to fill with bookings. If a peaceful, secluded, out-of-the-way stay in a tiny cabin surrounded by nature and centrally located to some of the UP’s most desirable attractions has been sitting on your bucket list, this may be the year to make it happen.

☕🌿 Sunday Morning at Hideaway Tiny Acres 🌿☕

There’s something about a slow Sunday morning that just feels right.

Coffee in hand, wrapped in a blanket, listening to the quiet. No rush. No noise. Just the simple rhythm of the day starting gently.

Out here, mornings aren’t about checking the clock, they’re about watching the light come through the trees, hearing the birds wake up, and giving yourself permission to just be for a while.

This is the kind of place where you can truly unwind.
Where your coffee stays hot a little longer,
and your mind finally slows down.

If you’ve been needing a reset, this is your sign.

✨ Come experience your own peaceful Sunday morning at Hideaway Tiny Acres.

❄️ Snowing on the LAST day of April… yep, welcome to the Upper Peninsula of Michigan.

It won’t amount to much, but the powers that be up here like to throw a curveball now and then. That’s just part of life in the U.P. and honestly, part of the adventure.

Don’t let it stop you.

You can still experience a huge percentage of the destinations you came for this time of year… you just need to be prepared.

✔️ Bring FOUR seasons of clothing (yes… all four)
✔️ Make sure your vehicle can handle more than just paved roads 👉 think mud, water, and even a little snow
✔️ Always pack basic supplies like food and a first aid kit just in case

I’m not trying to scare you but it does get a little rugged up here. And truthfully, that’s a big part of what makes this area so special.

The best part?

Hideaway Tiny Cabin is right in the center of it all about an hour from many of the U.P.’s most popular destinations without the crowds you’ll see later in the season.

If you’re looking for a peaceful getaway with a little adventure mixed in, this is it.
